January 6 ~ No, Not Yet!

I have three wooden figurines - Flex, Ayla, and Mini-Me. No doubt those of you who read this blog will come to know them much, much better over the coming days and months. They like to pose for photos, and find themselves in all sorts of situations. Needless to say, they give me a lot of fun and inspiration!

Here, Flex is busy trying to put away the Christmas decorations, but Mini-Me thinks it's too soon; he objects to Flex trying to pack away his Christmas stocking, so clambered inside it in protest! Flex takes things in his stride though - he simply picked up the stocking, Mini-Me and all and continued his tidying. As a result, Mini-Me soon gave up his protest and let the decorations be put away until next Christmas.

The stocking was a find Chris made at Michael's, an arts and crafts supply store chain. There's one near to Mom and Dad's in Oakville, and we stoppped there to find some bits and pieces for Flex, Ayla and Mini-Me. Loved this stocking as soon as I saw it!

I'm so relieved I managed to get a photo taken today; I would have been pretty discouraged if I'd missed a fourth day in a row!

About Me

I am a keen amateur photographer and have a passion for seascapes, landscapes and still life images, although I will try my hand at just about anything. I enjoy viewing everyday things and seeing the potential in oft-overlooked subjects. I am a lover of colour, shape and form, try to see things in a manner slightly different from the norm, and put my own slant on them. I continually strive to be creative and original in my work.
2014 marks my return to photography after 5 years away while my two daughters were very small. Now that they are 2 and nearly 5, I have the time and energy to focus on my photography once again. As a result, I am a beginner again :) Project365 is my way of relearning and of honing my skills.
Thank you for taking the time to visit; I hope you enjoy what you see.
